SJB Canteen Update
As many of you know, the new 2022-23 lunch program was implemented by SJB alumnus, Otto Rafael Peñarredonda, which we are very grateful. After renovations to the canteen and upgrading the payment system at his own expense to streamline lunch orders, the new program is now offering consistently high-quality, nutritious food options.
A big Thank You to those who have tried the program so far! Now we are asking those who haven't yet, to please support our new program as much as possible—its continued success depends upon consistent, widespread use to meet economies of scale.
For more information on Otto and his company, Alumni Solutions, LLC, we encourage you to check out his website at: www.alumnisolutionsllc.com
